Irish Blessing

Welcome

I'm playing again with my Gel Plate and the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Dinnerplate Dahlias

So, here's what I did.

• I began by inking up my Gel Plate with some Prize Ribbon and some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink. I take the ink pad, press it directly onto parts of the plate and then I use a brayer to blend the colours together. I love using the inks on my Plate instead of acrylic paint, it's such an easier clean up. 
• Next, I splattered some water over the ink on the plate as I wanted to get the look of raindrops.  I placed the Dinnerplate Dahlias stencil onto the plate, rubbed a piece of scrap paper over the plate to lift some of the ink off, then removed the stencil and rubbed over with my white cardstock to reveal the print.
• When the print was dry, I place the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment using some Wilted Violet DOX ink.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a piece of pale blue and then onto a 4 1/4" square white card base.

Here is the stencil I used:
